This is sounding more and more like my kitchen! :) I actually have Santa Cecilia in my current bathroom, and in my current kitchen I have dark espresso cabinets, dark wood floors and a granite called branco torrone that looks a lot like Bianco Antico than any photo I have ever been able to find of branco torrone online. For what it is worth, I think it looks much much more special than the Santa Cecilia. (We are building a new house, so all new decisions need to be made, but that is another post). Have you found a place to buy the metal centerpiece you posted?

I don't think you necessarily have to go neutral, but I think keeping the rug to one dominant color (could be tone-on-tone, not suggesting a solid) or one color plus a neutral (blue and cream, magenta and gray). An overdyed oriental to match the blue or pink in the chair could work. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Cameron-Tweed-Magenta-Ash-Area-Rug-9-x-12/20741001/product.html?refccid=WC2DPIGUCFQKH6KD7OQDS4PID4&searchidx=69 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Safavieh-Valencia-Traditional-Distressed-Silky-Polyester-Rug-8-x-10/13299669/product.html?refccid=4NOO663MC3GKUACMWT46ELJFQU&searchidx=409 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-tufted-Tatum-Aqua-Wool-Rug-79-x-99/9590760/product.html?refccid=4NOO663MC3GKUACMWT46ELJFQU&searchidx=371 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/M.A.Trading-Hand-Woven-Khema5-Multi-9x12-India/14033108/product.html?refccid=CMHPLRQ6MJJ22HCMRN2QDD4IDA&searchidx=46

How wide is the opening between your kitchen and family room? You might be able to use a t-mold or a reducer between the flooring in each room and run it one direction in the kitchen and opposite direction in the family room and use the wood look vinyl in both. Even if you use another flooring in the family room, you may need a t-mold or reducer between flooring if there is a height difference.

Kathi -- There are guidelines for table size related to room size, rug size, and number of guests. This is what I've learned from personal experience with banquet planning and dinners at home: Rug Size -- Allow a minimum of 24" from the edge of the table to the edge of the rug if you don't want guests moving chairs to damage the binding on your rug. Example: A table 4' x 8' should be anchored with a rug at least 8' x 12'. If you can manage a rug 30" out from your table edges, even better. Room Size -- Again, allowing space for guests to move chairs and leave the table is key. If guests need 24" minimum to exit, allow space for furniture you're placing around the walls near the table plus a minimum 12" walkway. If you prefer that guests not have to scrunch past others who are still seated, allow 24" for walking (width of a typical bathroom door). Number of Guests -- 20" x 12" of table space per guest works for family/friends dining. 30" x 14" of table space per guest is suitable for formal dining, assuming your dining chair dimensions aren't any wider. Consider how many chairs will fit between table legs as well. If your table has an overhang of 12" or more, table legs bumping knees shouldn't be an issue. Benches typically allow for more guest seating than chairs. A round table allows for extra elbow room between chairs because each guest has a pie-shaped area for dining vs. a rectangle. Hope this helps despite your post being months old.
